ACROSS TIE WATERS.
Excitement in the London Stock Exchange
Panic In London aud Paris,

There was intense excitement on the
stock exchange all Thursday afternoon,
and at the close of the market panicky
feeling prevailed. The unfavorable state
of the market was due chiefly to reports
of heavy failures on the Paris bourse and
to a rumor that large banking institu-
ton in Berlin had collapsed.
Panic on the stock exchange set in
with the greatest force in the afternoon.
Earlier in the day English buying met
the continental rush to sell, but later
alarm seized English operators, and the
torrent of sellers became so great that
dealers refused to make prices The
widest rumors were credited, and the
best home and foreign secureties were
largely sold Business continued active
in the street until 'petite'bourse" quota
tions were received, which showed the
panic was intensifying on the continent
and caused depression sud anxiety. At
the close the reckless selling of railroad
securities was partially checked by New
York buying, besides England, Berlin
and Paris threw large masses of stock on
the market
AT PARIS.
At Paris three per cent rentes declined
and were quoted at rs francs, fall Of 2
francs and As centimes from the closing
quotations of the day previous
Bourse opened depressed Besides po-
litical rumors and general financial mis-
trust, the suspension of all credit made
the transaction of business almost an i'm
possibility. An opinion prevails that an
less the banks and great capitalists come
to the relief of the market, disastrous
failures are inevitable.

The Little Jersey.

i. Is. Garretson, in Il paper read before
the Jersey Cattle Club at Oskaloosa, Iowa.
thus disposes of an oft-quoted objection:
We sometimes hear the remark ooh.
your little no-account jersey is not much
bigger than a rabbit. Why, what could
you get for such thing as that for beef
l want a COW that after | have MIXED for
ten years, she viii tip the beam at l,500
pounds, and where will your little Jersey
be thenY Well, let's see a moment where
she would be. We viii not select an Eth
ieel or Princess ID, but take for instance,
two average cows, a Shorthorn and Jersey,
at two years of age. Allow the same cost for
keeping and the same price for butter,
If you please, and also the same amount
from the sale of the calves. 1t is an ac-
knowledged fact amorg the Shorthorn, as
well as Jersey breeders, that the Jersey
COW will produce at least one-fourth more
butter than will the Shorthorn cow
thus, at low estimate, where
the Shorthorn will make six pounds per
week the Jersey will make eight pounds.
The two pounds, at twenty-five cents lin a
home market, for ten months would be
SZu, and thus, In ten years, would be 5000.
Now deduct the amount realized from the
Shorthorn, which tips the beam at 800,
at four cents (home market, allowing only
$40 for fattening her, and still the profit
from the little Jersey exceeds the other by
$50, and yet she keeps on in the even
tenor of her way, enjoying life for years
to come and contributing her share of
golden gilt-edge butter long after her
competitors career has been closed for
ever, and whose hide looks serenely out
from shOe-box in some country store,
while her taliow, having been mixed with
articles and grease innumerable, has gone
